National 4-H Council and Kraft are offering incentives for 4-H counties to get the most youth in their county to achieve the award. Signing up for the 4-H group is simple. All you have to do is register. It's quick, and there's no cost to participate! HOW TO JOIN 1) Go to www.presidentschallenge.org/natl4-H/ 2) Fill out the registration form. 3) After registering, start logging your activities.

Important Information for Livestock Members

Rules for Enrolling in 4-H, FFA or as an Independent Member

There have been several questions concerning enrollment as an independent exhibitor for the Mariposa County Fair, or to change enrollment from 4-H to FFA or vice versa. The rules are as follows: 4-H/FFA/Grange ♦ You may change your PROJECT membership one time during a calendar year (January 1 to December 31) by

properly notifying both organizations of your intentions. If a 4-H member plans on transferring to FFA or independent, that member must notify the UCCE office 120 or 60 days before fair to be qualified to show at the 2011 fair. (depending on species)

♦ The same SPECIE may not be carried in both organizations, although you may have a leadership project in one and the project in the other (e.g. Teen leader for sheep in 4-H and a sheep project in FFA).

♦ Ownership requirements must be observed: (Bill of sale) * 60 consecutive days– sheep, swine, veal, goats

* 120 consecutive days– beef and horses * 30 consecutive days– rabbits & poultry ♦ Projects must be under the direct supervision of a project leader, advisor or FFA instructor. ♦ Project enrollment: Must be enrolled in the project at least 60 days (120 days for beef and horses) prior to the first day of the fair and that any member who has been a 4-H/FFA/Grange member WITHIN 60 days (120 days for beef and horses) of the first day of the fair is NOT eligible to show as an Independent in that

project. This applies to all projects including stills. ♦ 4-H POLICY IN MARIPOSA REQUIRES ENROLLMENT DATES OF OCTOBER 1 FOR RETURNING

What is the minimum primary automobile coverage required of a 4-H volunteer to be covered under UC’s secondary automobile liability insurance? University policy requires employees or volunteers who are driving on University business to maintain insur-ance coverage in the following amounts: $50,000 for personal injury to, or death of, one person; $100,000 for injury to, or death of, two or more persons in one accident; and $50,000 for property damage. These limits are commonly referred to as: “50/100/50”. These University minimums are higher than the State minimum insur-ance requirements of 15/30/5. If a volunteer driver is involved in an accident, the secondary coverage from the University would apply only after the limits of the volunteers’ vehicle primary liability insurance policy have been reached. What if a 4-H volunteer does not have this minimum primary coverage? Are they afforded any UC au-tomobile liability coverage? Are they still allowed to transport 4-H youth? If a 4-H volunteer does not maintain coverage in accordance with the University’s minimums, and the auto accident occurred as part of a 4-H activity, then the volunteer would be responsible for paying the amount be-tween their auto insurance maximum coverage limits and the University’s minimums. i.e., if the volunteer has the State minimum coverage of 15/30/5 and is involved in an accident while on University business and the policy limits are exceeded the volunteer would be liable for the difference between their policy limits and the University’s secondary coverage 50/100/50. Who pays for an automobile accident if I, as a UC volunteer, am negligent while driving my personal vehicle? If you are a formal volunteer who is involved in an automobile accident while in the course and scope of your UC activities, and you are found to be negligent, UC provides secondary coverage (as described above) after your personal auto insurance limits have been depleted. How does a 4-H volunteer file an automobile liability insurance claim? A claim is initiated by completing an incident report form and submitting it to the county UCCE office. The UCCE will forward the form to ANR Risk Services. The form is available from the UCCE office or from the Risk Services website at: http://danr.ucop.edu/riskmanagement/ANR-IncidentForm1.pdf
